Chapter 349 Meticulous
As they were chatting, General Shao suggested that he drink some wine and chat while drinking, and he would stop drunk. Men, especially men from martial arts, always have to drink some wine and chat to have an atmosphere.
Meng was about to agree, but suddenly a little maid came in and after saluting, she presented a post with both hands and said, "Master, the post sent by Lord Sima."
Meng also took the post, opened it and glanced at the old general Shao, "I'm so sorry for this old general. Lord Sima invited me to have a banquet at Zuixianju tonight... If it were someone else, I would definitely push it. Lord Sima was my former boss who took good care of me on weekdays. Now I'm promoted to a higher level. If it was someone else, I'm afraid others will look down on him. So, I'm so sorry. Let's drink tea and drink wine again and we will definitely stop drunk again."
"It should be, it should be, the old boss should respect it." Old General Shao was happy, with no thought on his face, and he paused and said, "It's better, little brother, my children are all good, you don't have to worry about it at all, you can hold your grandson."
The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, and Meng also shows a little embarrassment on her face.
General Shao suddenly realized that by the way, Meng seemed to have several children with his original wife. Later, something happened to his original wife's parents' family and he could not tolerate anyone. Meng was retired when something happened to his parents' family. He sent his children to the countryside or married to another place without any care. Many people didn't know it, and they thought that his children were the ones they knew. If these children were still there, they would have been a group of children long ago.
Why did he forget this incident and expose Meng Ye’s heart disease at once?
Perhaps because he was exposed to his heart disease, Meng Ye's mood was not very high. General Shao secretly felt sorry for him. He accidentally ruined the good atmosphere and wanted to say something to save him. But from time to time, a little maid came to Meng Ye with posts, either this official visit or this friend invited a banquet.
General Shao knew that he could no longer be shameless and could only find an excuse to take his leave first.
Meng Ye enthusiastically sent General Shao to the door.
Back in the house, he said to Mrs. Meng: "I think General Shao seems to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say it. Maybe he wanted someone to help me if he had something. I'm sorry to speak up and ask me again the other day, after all, he has kindness to me."
"I know." Mrs. Meng said in a confident tone, "With his second son Shao Li's current prospect, it must be not to ask for promotions for his nephews, or something like that. There is only one reason."
Speaking of the key point, Mrs. Meng deliberately kept it a secret and paused for a moment.
"What's the reason?" Meng Ye asked anxiously.
Mrs. Meng said lightly: "As old, it is a debt to children. His second son is not required to ask others for anything else. Of course, there is only the eldest son's business. I told you last time that his granddaughter Shao Piner wanted to tell us Guang'er. I rejected it."
After this, Meng also remembered that there seemed to be something that he didn't care at all at that time. No matter when he became a general or after being demoted, he never had many people who told his children about their relatives. It was just that the family status was different as the officials went up and down.
Who said that he owed General Shao a favor? But Mrs. Meng was in charge of his children's marriage. He didn't care too much, and he didn't mention any too prominent families. Many of them were dispensable, and some were delusional. The eldest son of the Shao family belonged to the delusional ones.
It is one thing that General Shao has kindness to him, and it is another thing that the whole Shao family has to look at the whole Shao family because of the old general Shao. He really looks down on the behavior of the old man in the Shao family. Just like he was in a major change when he was full of energy, he was also depressed for a while, but he did not completely break the can, so he drank some wine and complained. He did not dare to abandon the disposable official position. He did not dare to use the family wealth he earned to make trouble. He did not want to drink at home and watch his wife and children's faces without anything.
The old man of the Shao family is just a person who cannot withstand the blow and has no intention of asking for anything. Can children taught by such a person have good luck? Even if the children are good, it is disgusting to have such a family, but he still said: "Gen. Shao is not that kind of person, right? He has always been strong and disdainful to ask for help. When his youngest son had something like that, he never asked anyone to help him plead with him."
Mrs. Meng was a little surprised that Meng also had a good impression of General Shao, and she sneered, "It was time and time. That time was different from now. At that time, he had not yet retreated. His two sons were both heroic and powerful and could fight for the future by themselves. Now his youngest son doesn't have to worry about, but the eldest son's family is afraid that he needs a good marriage to save him. Looking at the entire Yancheng, he is afraid that he thinks that only our family can save his eldest son's family."
The majestic and smart and capable men outside are at a loss when facing a lot of things and unworthy children and grandchildren in their inner hut. Many heroes were damaged by their children and grandchildren in their later years. After Mrs. Meng refused to propose marriage at the Shao family, in order to prevent them from taking revenge as a villain, she secretly paid attention to the movements of the Shao family.
Mrs. Wang went to the door one after another, but she didn't swear to the sky that she really didn't know about the separation of the Shao family in advance. It seemed that in order to prove her innocence, she also promoted the affairs of Mr. Shao's family in the circle of noble ladies. Now most people in the circle of noble ladies in Yancheng know the details of the Shao family. Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. It's difficult for their children to have a decent marriage in Yancheng.
Uncle Shao must be dissatisfied and blamed everything on his younger brother. In this case, in order to avoid excessive conflict between his sons, General Shao must come forward to talk about his children in their house. Using past friendship, it is difficult to say about the friendship between men on the battlefield. Perhaps some people are willing to get married because of past friendship.
Meng was immediately confused. General Shao was quite kind to him. If he really wanted to raise it, it would be hard for him to refuse.
After many years of couples, Mrs. Meng looked at Meng's expression and immediately guessed what he was thinking. She immediately reminded, "Master, don't say that I didn't say it in advance. Putting aside Uncle Shao's family, even your princess and daughters are very taboo to the Shao family. Don't annoy your princess and son-in-law because of your anger."
"I know." Meng was also a little depressed, "I'll talk about this later. Lord Sima invited me to drink at Zuixianlou in the evening. It's time. You can get some things for me and prepare a carriage."
While opening the wardrobe, Mrs. Meng also found the clothes for Meng, she said as if nothing had happened: "It was not Lord Sima who invited you, it was you who invited him."
"What?" Meng also paused with his hands unbuttoned, and looked at Mrs. Meng in confusion.
Mrs. Meng took out a royal blue robe and put it down and said, "I wrote the post just now. I had long expected that General Shao had a bad intention and didn't want you to talk to him too much. However, in order to prevent General Shao from knowing that we were talking nonsense later, I immediately sent someone to post to Lord Sima in your name and invite him to drink at night. Anyway, others only know that you are drinking with Lord Sima tonight at Zuixianju. No one will carefully investigate who invited him."
Meng Ye couldn't speak at all. He had known for a long time that his wife was better than him in some conspiracies and tricks. He really didn't expect that she would do so easily.
This move sent out the old general Shao, and at the same time showed good things to Lord Sima, killing two birds with one stone.
After Mrs. Meng said what she should say, she didn't want to serve Meng Ye himself. She ordered the little maid to change clothes and clean up the master. Then Shi Shi Ran walked out. She was very busy and had to prepare a dowry for her daughter. In addition, she had to send someone to inquire about the news about the Shao family. General Shao didn't have time to say the purpose today. Maybe he wouldn't give up and would definitely find another opportunity. Be more careful, especially Meng Ye, who wanted to relax his vigilance and say the wrong thing when he was drunk. At that time, Xiao Fu's marriage was caused by him saying the wrong thing in public. Although it seems that King Ding and Xiao Fu were determined to design it, regardless of whether Meng agreed or not, the result was still the same.
...
Dingwang Mansion.
It was another snowy day, with snowflakes outside the window, but the room was as warm as spring.
Su Yiqing stroked her still flat abdomen, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth standing by the window to enjoy the snow.
After a while, Lian Yufeng walked in and saw her standing by the window, wearing only a cotton coat, and his handsome eyebrows frowned. He walked over and picked up the fox fur coat placed beside him, gently put it on Su Yiqing, and said gently: "Don't open the window on snowy days. Wear more clothes and be careful of catching a cold."
Su Yiqing smiled faintly: "It's a bit boring. The nanny said reading is hurting her eyes and playing chess is hurting her spirit. I don't know what to do, so I can only look at the snow. I don't feel cold. The room is very warm."
Lian Yufeng said, "It would be bad if you really feel cold. Be careful. After pregnancy, you can't take a lot of medicine. You have to be very careful."
Although Su Yiqing felt that it was a bit of a big deal, it made some sense, so she left the window. Lian Yufeng hurriedly closed the window and helped her sit down, very nervous.
"You don't have to be so nervous." Su Yiqing smiled, "Many women in the folk are still working in the fields for seven or eight months. They just need to exercise more to get better. However, the noble ladies in the inner house are very troubled and weak, so they will only be during childbirth..."
"Shh!" Lian Yufeng made a ban on voice gesture and said softly, "If you can't say unlucky words, our children will definitely be healthy."
"Yes." Su Yiqing also followed his words.
Lian Yufeng thought for a while and said, "I know you are bored, so I will come back early to accompany you. In this way, how about recruiting a few piano vocalists and singers to play and sing to relieve your boredom?"
"You can play the piano, but there is no need for a singer." Su Yiqing thought for a while. He had heard in his previous life that music can cultivate sentiment and is beneficial to the fetus. It is indeed very good to listen to music.
